Patient's question:
I have uterine fibroids. My period started on the 20th of last month, and it has already been a few days with less flow and dark red color. On the 9th day, the flow increased and the color turned bright red. I want to ask how uterine fibroids are treated?Doctor's answer:
Endometrial thickness varies at different stages of the menstrual cycle. It is recommended to have a vaginal ultrasound three days after the menstrual period ends to determine the specific thickness of the endometrium. If the endometrium is thick, consider undergoing a uterine clearance procedure. Western medicine has no effective drugs for this condition, and surgery is the most commonly used method. You may try traditional Chinese medicine treatment. For severe cases of uterine fibroids, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's recommendations for timely treatment.
